I have bad news to break to all: I cannot continue this project. College life along with many other things not worth mentioning have gotten in the way and I've lost track of my work. I can pass on what I have to anyone who wants to continue this project on in my stead, but unfortunately I no longer ...

Well the goals are good enough. I need to get an XML editor though to correct some mistakes. Once the week is over I'll do that. I just have a lot on my plate right now college wise. Narrowed down the list of starting locations to four: New York, Chicago, Toronto and Cleveland. Made these industries...

Added some key industries for some cities: New York: Furniture Factory Chicago: Stockyard Detroit: Auto Plant Pittsburgh: Steel Mill Charleston: Steel Mill Also made the following changes to city sizes Syracuse: Village Newark: Village Chicago: Town London: Town Cleveland: City Detroit: City Indiana...

The game wants to have 4 staring locations. If you have less than 4 it might pick one arbitrary. So it’s better if you decide. I wonder if you know that a village will grow as the game progresses to town, city and metropolis. In order to do that the village (town,city) has to be connected to the ne...

You have 41 cities. That is about twice as much as a map of this size can handle comfortably. Here you have to make a mental decision, what your scenario goals are and limit the number of cities to that goal. In that case I have to cut it down by half. I already have an idea of which cities to cut....

I keep deleting the map and starting from scratch and readjusting the height map to fit the gray square but it keeps giving me the same result. I really don't want to spend hours redoing the entire map if this is what's going to happen. Is there anyone who can take the height map and make a blank ma...

EDIT: DLing GIMP now. Great. Be sure to download the DDS plug-in. You might need it later. While you are at it download, Notepad++ it is a at the same source, free. Get the XML plugin also. We will need it later. Meanwhile you can get acquainted with it. As for the map size, it will not make any di...

Oh I'm sorry I missed that part. I redid it and now I'm looking for a suitable program for opening the .tga file. Sadly the only paint program I have is ordinary Microsoft Paint, so I need to find something for free download online. EDIT: DLing GIMP now. I'm starting to wonder if maybe 225 square un...

EDIT: A bit confused. Exactly where do I save this .tga folder to? The tutorial said to the usermaps folder in my documents but I just want to be sure. I am trying to tell you to read the mapmaking tutorial. Lets start from the beginning: First you have to make a blank map with the terrain editor. ...

is there anyway you could make it a zip folder rather than an .7z folder? I only have WinRAR, unless that will work to unzip this. EDIT: Nevermind, DLing Winzip now. Thanks a lot for the map. EDIT: A bit confused. Exactly where do I save this .tga folder to? The tutorial said to the usermaps folder ...

Question #1 What size map are you making.? When you are starting a map in the terrain editor, you will have a choice of different sizes. Go and read the mapmaking tutorial!! http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=4226 It’s not that difficult, and let me know the size of the map. And d...

Before we go too much into details, it would be nice to know exactly how much you know about the game. Karsten has a good idea where to get the necessary TGA files. With that knowledge you want to read the Map Making tutorial http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=4226 You will need b...
